it's to help reduce vibration from your engine. If your engine was directly bolted onto the frame of your car, you'd feel every bit of engine vibration in the cabin.

Technically its the ONLY engine mount. The others are on the transmission.

Really??

Nobody wants to tell him the truth?

It's your blinker fluid reservoir...if you let it get too low your turn signals will stop working.



You guys are messed up

But yes, that's the engine mount. first time I poked at mine I got scared since it was full of liquid. The oil in it is to reduce vibrations even further.
